Yesterday Facebook decided to block Trump’s social media chief, Dan Scavino, from posting public comments on his Facebook page, which has a lot of Trump’s followers.
And they did so without even letting Scavino know why they were doing it.
Facebook abruptly censored the account of President Trump’s chief social media guru, blocking him for simply responding to a question from a reader.
Dan Scavino Jr. said on Facebook that his page was blocked without notice.
Scavino is responsible for several of the president’s and White House’s social media accounts. He has been with the president for years.
This morning Paul Bedard, the author of this article, retweeted it saying that Facebook is still blocking Scavino:
STILL...Facebook blocks @realDonaldTrump ’s social media chief: 'Why are you silencing me?' asks @Scavino45 https://t.co/TTn4mKahI1

A few minutes ago, Trump picked up on the tweet and responded “I will be looking into this! #StopTheBias”:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1108004465121075200I don’t know if this is bias or not, but I suspect Trump just got Facebook’s attention and they’ll figure this out pretty quickly.
